755191 - The thing we use to retrigger pending jobs through self-serve doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tree Management Graveyard :: TBPL, defect)

Description

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

In http://hg.mozilla.org/users/mstange_themasta.com/tinderboxpushlog/file/1a3eeafc91d6/js/MachineResult.js#l121 for pending and running jobs, we strip pending- or running- off this.runID and send that to self-serve.

What self-serve really wants is a request_id, but that thing is apparently a build_id, which does work to retrigger a running or finished job, but does not work to retrigger a pending job, because self-serve doesn't believe that a pending job has a build_id.

Still a problem? Do we need to retrigger pending jobs?

Comment 3

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Yes to both. The try backlog is better than when it was 24 hours, but it's still frequently an hour or two during the day, which means that if your try push is either added logging to catch a 1-in-20 failure, or is an attempted fix at one, you have an hour or two of pointless wasted time sitting around waiting to be able to trigger your 20 tests after you've sat around waiting for your build to finish and trigger tests.
